So do they? Do they know that you join forums and talk with people over the internet??? My family has no idea. They know I watch anime but if they found out I was on forums then they would probably go 'wtf?' They hear my typing like a maniac most nights when I'm replying to threads or posts and such. They ask me what I'm typing, and I just say I'm writing a book on a Word document. Hehe I've been using the same excuse for the past few months and they said they are so proud I've started writing again. Oh mom and dad...

Also this could apply to anyone you know: co-workers, friends, etc.

v Haha lucky. I don't think they have any idea yet. i swear by now they probably think I'm writing a Harry Potter book or something. When they walk by me now they smile at me with so much pride.....geez am I letting them down lol.

What's wrong with forums?!?! I couldn't give two shits what my friends or family know about my internet habits. If I'm not endangering anyone, or causing any harm, then no one has any right to interfere with my private matters...

Well, my mom doesn't even know how to turn on a computer, so she definitely doesn't know what a forum is....she doesn't even know the meaning of the word anyway (not a native English speaker), and I guess I'm kind of estranged from my dad, I have no clue what he's been up to, nor does he bother to contact me. Besides, I live on my own......I'm much older than anyone who posted before me.
